This is an RFT (request for tricks): I have a foster ferret that has had to be fed by syringe for the last 6 weeks (broken jaw). Of course, she *likes* it - and doesn't want to eat on her own now. The tricks I've used in the past don't seem to be working with Prissy. I'd love to hear from the folks here with any ideas :-P Last night - there was a ferret reference on the "Drew Carey" show. Drew's female friend (can't recall her name) decided she needed a pet - so she went and bought a ferret. Of course, when she brought it to work to show Drew - it had escaped the (small bird)cage it was in. She made some comment to the effect that it must have watched her when she was closing the door so he knew how to get out. (She doesn't realize how right she probably was <grin>.) At one point the ferret is up Drew's pants leg, which offered a funny scene while she tried to retrieve it. The last shot of the "ferret" was when you see it hanging from the boss's back without him knowing it. Kind of a cheesy stuffed replica - but it was a nice try. May all your days be dookie....
